    Frost is a Smart, creative, driven, obsessive, charismatic guy. Exactly what you want in a CD. One only hopes it’s an MMORPG, built with the West in Mind.

    Yeah it was his fault the game released in such a piss poor state. He had the mentality of difficulty over fun was the key. And pushed to try and create content the would exclude an entire side of mmo players. He also would constantly bash blizzard and than worked for them once he had no more power at carbine.

    What is with this guy?  He was the face and voice of Wildstar...and he was amazing at it.  Then went to Amazon I think, then Blizz, now Nexon?  This guy sure does get around.  Why are companies hiring a hopper like this?

    Was capitalization of 'smart' a Freudian slip?

    Nexon, the company known for those great free to play games with non intrusive cash shops? We need more Nexon games and more Nexon influence in the West. We really want monetization options just like the Nexon games offer!

    And yet Blizzard has many high ranking employs working for them for decade or more. Hell, they even award them with special gifts like statues of Frostmourne replicas.
